The spook society of America recently awarded a multi billion dollar contract for the storage of your ‘privacy’ in the cloud of Microsoft…in addition to Amazon and Google cloud storage.

I get at least two or three calls a day from fake credit card, insurance, social security, or others that try to intimidate. It must work on enough people to make it worth while to the crooks. Like Fox lies and misinformation and product advertising does.
